But that\u2019s how the timing worked out for Tom Michell, an English teacher stationed at an elite Buenos Aires private school, at the time of the turmoil: With the country in chaos and many of his colleagues in crisis, he was figuring out what to do with the Magellan penguin he had accidentally adopted on a weekend jaunt to Uruguay. His 2016 memoir of that period, \u201cThe Penguin Lessons,\u201d was the kind of breezy read that bridges adult and juvenile tastes for animal stories; Peter Cattaneo\u2018s amiable film adaptation matches the book\u2019s feathery whimsy while reaching for a little more political import. Almost inevitably, it\u2019s best when it\u2019s about the bird.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    While Michell was in his twenties at the time of the events described in his book, this adaptation by screenwriter Jeff Pope (\u201cPhilomena\u201d) has been retooled as a vehicle for Pope\u2019s regular collaborator, 58-year-old Steve Coogan \u2014 with some somber backstory added to explain why an Englishman of that approximate age might still be spending his days adrift in South America. It\u2019s a change that shifts the tenor of the entire narrative in a more melancholic direction, though it remains easy viewing, now tilted a little more toward the gray-pound audience. Coogan spikes proceedings with his familiar air of deadpan irony, while Cattaneo (in one of his better outings since landing an Oscar nomination for \u201cThe Full Monty\u201d nearly 27 years ago) mixes broad comic beats with a mollifying dose of yellow-filtered pathos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Still, you can sense the curious tonal split from the jump, as Coogan\u2019s Michell \u2014 clad in the mandatory Seventies teacher uniform of corduroy blazer, slacks and suede desert boots, all in varying shades of gravy \u2014 arrives with a bemused frown at the forbiddingly exclusive gates of his new place of employment, to find workmen painting over \u201cfascistas bastardos\u201d graffiti on the high outside wall. There\u2019s a muffled thunder of gunfire and explosives in the distance; Michell is mostly irked to get a spot of paint on his shoe. \u201cWe try to keep out of it all,\u201d says stuffy headmaster Buckle (Jonathan Pryce) as he welcomes the new teacher, stressing the importance of \u201ca small \u2018p\u2019 when it comes to politics.\u201d His blinkered centrism is held up for mockery, though \u201cThe Penguin Lessons\u201d isn\u2019t about to get terribly revolutionary itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Mild comedy ensues as Michell settles in: struggling to connect with the unruly boys in his class, doing reluctant double duty as a hopeless rugby coach and forming a prickly bond with his earnest, sarcasm-averse Finnish colleague Michel (Bj\u00f6rn Gustafsson). Any political context is filled in via the school\u2019s gruff but gold-hearted caretaker Maria (Vivian El Jaber) and her granddaughter Sofia (Alfonsina Carrocio), who are rather more directly affected than these European outsiders by the tumult of Argentina\u2019s Dirty War. When the coup occurs, it\u2019s backgrounded, treated by Michell merely as a prompt for a brief, hedonistic escape to Uruguay, where, in an attempt to impress a one-night stand, he rescues a penguin from an oil slick on the beach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    His intention is simply to clean the bird \u2014 soon rather grandly named Juan Salvador \u2014 and return it to its natural habitat. Juan Salvador, however, refuses to leave his crotchety savior\u2019s side, earning himself a passage back to Argentina in a canvas tote bag. Cue droll hijinks as Michell attempts to hide his unusual new pet from border guards and then from school authorities, though Juan Salvador is simply too adorable to stay hidden for too long. Soon enough, he\u2019s sitting in on classes, somehow instigating a \u201cDead Poets Society\u201d-style turnaround as Michell, newly invested, veers from the syllabus to include anti-war poetry, and his pupils are suddenly spellbound. Such is the power of the penguin, and to be fair, Juan Salvador is played by such charismatic avian talent that we\u2019re just about willing to believe it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This is amusing stuff, well served by Coogan\u2019s knack for haughty composure in the face of the absurd. The film is less convincing, however, when it reaches into the realm of the tragic. Sofia\u2019s kidnapping by the military junta is too severe an incident to be relegated to a B-plot behind more feelgood seabird material, while Coogan can\u2019t quite sell his character\u2019s deeper reserves of grief. Michell\u2019s eventual contravention of the school code to intervene in political matters should be more climactic, but given how the film shies from showing the coup\u2019s more violent consequences, the stakes don\u2019t feel as high as they should. If you can keep the out-of-sight devastation duly out of mind, and focus instead on the wonder of Juan Salvador, \u201cThe Penguin Lessons\u201d will hold you in its grasp \u2014 although, true to the humble charms of its flightless MVP, it never quite aims to soar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
